Cowboy Take Me Away

This evening, the girls and I were dancing to the Dixie Chicks. This song just about sums up how I feel about living in this apartment:

I wanna walk and not run

I wanna skip and not fall

I wanna look at the horizon

And not see a building standing tall

I wanna be the only one

For miles and miles

Except for maybe you

And your simple smile

Oh it sounds so good to me

Yes is sounds so good to me...

...I said I wanna touch the earth

I wanna break it in my hands

I wanna grow something wild and unruly

Oh it sounds so good to me

I spent quite a while this afternoon, rummaging around in the garage looking for my jelly jars. I was only partially successful. I did manage to pack up one box from the apartment and deposit it in the garage: J's school stuff.

The carpet guys (more neighbors) were hard at work downstairs putting in the new carpeting.

These library bookshelves look too pretty to cover up with books (but we'll do it anyway).

Here's some of the "portobello" paint on the front of the house...lookin' good!

L picked up poison ivy somewhere...time to plant a lawn!
